In
Inuit mythology, Wentshukumishiteu (or Uentshukumishiteu) is a
water-elemental spirit which fiercely protected the young of various
animal species from
human hunters. It is particularly fond of
otters. The Inuit say that Wentshukumishiteu is able to travel anywhere on the water and can break through the thickest ice. It can also travel under the ground and through rocks.
